We were ill prepared for this snowfall but proceeded up anyway. By the time we got to the top there were 60pmh winds and snow going every direction but down. This picture i think gives an eerie perspective of what was coming in this great valley heading up the peak on a climb that almost killed us both.

When we were heading to do Bold Peak Eklutna lake was as calm as could be. Almost no movemnt at all on it. That was made all the more eerie by the 40-60mph winds we got hit by on the peak and the snow that can be seen falling on the mountains. The sun there was not very convincing of it being daylight.

This is the view of (L to R) of the Twin Peaks, Goat Rocks and Mount POW/MIA from the Veteran's Wall of Honor in Wasilla, Alaska. The flat topped peak on the right is the only place in the United States that the USGS has named for those who have served their country and paid the price.

This is a view back down the last ridge up Mt. POW/MIA. You can see that the weather was not too great, and with the visibility, the drop on the left (about 400 feet) looked like the edge of the world.
